Its just a weird situation. Seems he left Tecnifibre for the money, but unlike some players wants to use what he plays best with. So its looking like he might as well get paid something for using Tecnifibre instead of nothing for using a blacked out stick right?

Verdasco would be Great with Prince racket. Prince just seem to fit his game to the tee. Heavy Topspin racket with added manuverability of prince O3 tech and soft feeling control is just perfect for Verdasco.
that same racket Monfils is using would be perfect for him.

Yea he totally is playing with the tecnifibre. It zoomed in on his racquet in a first round change over and you could easily see the tecnifibre paint job under the black. You think dunlop could put a little thicker paint to make it look a little less obvious

Technifibre was certainly not happy losing Verdasco as a player. Although Verdasco was very happy with his Technifibre SMU, when he decided to leave Technifibre he was leaving without his bat. He went through alot of playtesting and tweaking to finally get that Technifibre bat to his liking.

Technifibre and Dunlop both produce their bats at the same OEM. With those star aligning for him, he was presented with an opportunity where he was more likely to get a bat produced identical to or similar to his old bat which Yonex could never do for him...it all turned on the design! Did Dunlop end up acquiring the design plans for Verdasco's SMU from Technifibre? I'll leave that for you to decide and draw your conclusions.

Verdasco was " growing" with the Technifibre racket.
Of course when he started to be higher in the ranking other big brands were trying to get him under contract thanks to the fact that the french company even though makes great rackets it is still a small company and , of course, cannot compete financially.
In fact he has changed from Technifibre to Yonex, but it did not work since he was not happy. Then he had contract with Dunlop but,again, he has practically always played with technifibre even though painted all black to disguise it.

Now we hear that he is looking for a new "supplier" .

Well aware that we are talking about big money ( and Technifibre cannot offer )
the discussion is : This guys already have and get a lot of money. Wouldn't be better to play with a racket that makes us happy ?

But doesn't it simply come down to why Verdasco would leave Tecnifibre in the first place? Money's the driving force in all of this and I guess Verdasco could be the loser if he can't find someone that's willing to manufacture a new racquet to his TF's specs AND pay him what he feels he's worth. He'll be in a situation where he's playing with a limited number of blacked out frames with no alternatives.
